Fall 2026 · NRSC 0285 · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

The goal of this course is to explore the pathobiological basis of neurological disorders. During the first hour, faculty presenters will discuss clinical manifestations and pathology of the most common neurological diseases as well as our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms and neural circuitries. Experimental approaches and animal models that are informing clinical treatments will also be discussed. The last thirty minutes of class will be developed by the faculty presenter and involve discussion of relevant primary literature or potential areas of future research with active student participation. In preparation for each discussion, students will be assigned background reading, consisting of reviews and recent research articles.
